Beautiful pale lilac open goblet-shaped blooms with creamy-yellow stamens from September to November followed by narrow green leaves. This is a stunning autumn-flowering crocus which is ideal for naturalising in a dry sunny spot in the garden.

Garden care: Plant bulbs in naturalistic drifts 10cm (4in) deep in July or August in gritty well-drained soil. Where bulbs are planted in grass do not cut the lawn until after the leaves have died back
